Christianity is NOT Derived From Judaism

I've already shown this from the Jewish historian Josephus.

I covered that in my posts also. Why didn't you read my post before you commented?

The Bible history about the "house of Judah" (tribes of Judah, Benjamin, Levi, and a small remnant out of the northern tribes), are those whom Josephus was talking about that called themselves Jews. They were the small remnant of the "house of Judah" that returned from the Babylon captivity.

You do realize that there were TWO separate captivities of the children of Israel, right? The first captivity was only about the northern ten tribes which the kings of Assyria removed out of the land, captive to Assyria and the lands of the Medes. Only those of the "house of Judah" in the southern holy lands were left.

Then about 120 years later, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, took the "house of Judah" captive to Babylon, and a small remnant of them returned. None of the scattered ten tribes of the "house of Israel" returned, even as it is to this day, as they became lost.

That is when the Jews of the "house of Judah" at Jerusalem-Judea became known as Israel because they were the only Israelites left in the holy land. This is how it still is today in the nation of Israel. It represents only the "house of Judah", those whom God promised He would always leave one tribe at Jerusalem for David's sake and Jerusalem's sake per 1 Kings 11.
